Introduction
(Hook) As an Islander I have lived through multiple
hurricanes. I remember the effects of these which include no
electricity nor water for weeks and sometimes months. Electricity
wasn't that complicated to live without; water was the major issue.
We had to get water from rivers, collect it from the rain, and do the
unimaginable just to keep up with our hygiene as best as we could.
(Bridge) Now imagine that with cold water, and water that wasn't
always clear nor fresh. This is an experience I do not wish to live
again. Unfortunately, in Jamaica this is something common for
their residents and not due to natural disasters. (Thesis) Many
Jamaicans have no access to fresh water supply due to water
pollution and the lack of treatment facilities to clean the water. The
people of Jamaica are suffering from what should be a naturally
provided environmental resource.

I like how you added in personal experience to your introduction. I want to research water in Jamaica now and see where it takes me.
